Invincible Ai Flew Away!

Inside the cabin, Kurenai Yuhi cautiously peered outside, her face filled with tension.

Kumogakure...

Ah!

It is said that this person is the next Raikage successor, and his strength must be extraordinary.

At least.

Hikaru Nara Shikaku is definitely no match for those people.

She looked at Kyohiko.

"What to do?"

"Let's take a look. The style of Kumogakure remains as stable as ever, which makes me very gratified."

Kyohiko's face was full of smiles.

The Kumogakure remain as simple and brutal as ever, showing no regard for the influence of their ninja villages.

If the Kumogakure's strength is superior to or on par with Konoha 'Konoha, then Konoha, surrounded by enemies, would indeed have no choice but to compromise and negotiate, just like Hiruzen Sarutobi.

But now.

Times have changed!

Kyohiko wasn't afraid of trouble; in fact, he hoped Kumogakure would cause trouble first so he could retaliate and kill them with a single punch.

A single punch can ward off a hundred more.

Sitting in Konoha waiting for the enemy to attack wasn't Kyohiko's style, but he didn't plan to go out directly either.

The unknown is the most terrifying thing.

If we act directly, it will reveal our strength and capabilities, giving the opponent time and space to weigh their options and prepare before deciding whether to fight or not.

What Kyohiko hoped for was--

Don't give Ai time to think.

Otherwise, given the number of people on the boat, it's still possible to come up with a decent solution.

At this moment, Kurenai Yuhi was extremely nervous.

Because that ship is still getting closer!

Especially after Shikaku introduced himself, the ships from Kumogakure seemed to be rapidly approaching.

"Don't worry, just take this."

"What's this?"

Kurenai Yuhi looked at Kyohiko.

"A Sealing Scroll contains Wood Clone made of Chakra, but it has no consciousness. Once you unseal it, I can quickly activate it and transform it into a clone."

"Understood?"

"Um!"

Kurenai Yuhi nods emphatically.

This is to prepare for the battle later!

but.

Could she really break the Sealing Scroll before the two attacked her?

Kurenai Yuhi took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

She mustn't panic!

Once panic sets in, one's true abilities become even less effective.

not to mention.

Besides doing this, she also had to protect Might Guy.

outside.

Oi Toshihito was stunned.

"Lord Shikaku, what's going on? Aren't Konoha on good terms with Kumogakure?"

"Don't worry."

Shikaku remained calm.

With Kyohiko around, there's no way a single ship could take them down.

If the Kumogakure were to actually take action, it would be the other side that would have to think twice about how to handle the situation, and Konoha would then have a reason to take action against the Kumogakure in the future.

Although the Shinobi World is chaotic and not everyone follows the rules, for a large ninja village like Konoha with many alliances, having a legitimate reason for fighting is very important.

In the current situation, the latter is even more important than the former!

In the distance, Ai was also hesitating.

Although Kumogakure has formed a secret alliance with Iwagakure and Kirigakure, none of them have made it public, and none of them want to fire the first shot.

If war breaks out on his side...

His eyes flickered.

"Lord Ai, how about we stop fighting?"

"Let's take a look first."

Ai took a step forward and said, "We are searching for a spy who stole information. We hope that Konoha Jonin Shikaku Jonin understand and allow us to search your ship's cabins."

"Okay, send two people up here."

There's nothing wrong with Shikaku freely.

Ai smiled and said, "Okay!"

As he spoke, he Body Flicker Technique and rushed towards them, followed by a dark-skinned young ninja, none other than Killer B, who was always by his side.

Koi Shun's body was tense.

He didn't take in any spies, but for a major ninja village, whether or not they wanted to fight was just a matter of a word.

What if Konoha can't protect his ship...?

He had a long face.

"Shikaku, there are valuable items on the ship that I brought back with me. I hope you will go easy on me!"

"Don't worry, the Kumogakure are friendly and won't cause trouble on the ship."

Shikaku smiled slightly.

At that moment, Ai had already Body Flicker Technique to their ship.

His speed has improved considerably compared to previous years, making it completely undetectable to the naked eye. Even Chakra perception cannot accurately detect it, only vaguely sensing its location.

However.

In combat, such vague perception is of no help whatsoever; on the contrary, it may lead to misjudgments in one's own combat, thereby harming oneself.

Kurenai Yuhi's palms were sweaty.

Without Kyohiko, Ai alone could have wiped out a small squad on the ship.

This is Kage Level power!

Just imagining it made her sweat, and Kyohiko's strength was already above Ai's, so you can imagine how powerful Kyohiko is now...

Kurenai Yuhi glanced at Kyohiko, who looked like a "Yamato".

I hope everything is alright!

Ai boarded the boat, chatted with Shikaku for a few minutes, and then took a stroll around the boat.

"Lord Ai, these are all important supplies we're transporting to the Land of Snow, not anything related to ninja territory..."

Koi Shun was so nervous that he offered to take Ai to the lower cabin.

His cabin was full of dried and pickled vegetables.

In the Land of Snow winters are extremely cold, imported dried and pickled vegetables are their most delicious delicacies, a favorite of all the nobles.

"Um."

Ai didn't care at all what kind of goods Koi Shun had.

He only cares about...

How many people from Konoha were on the ship? Why were they so fearless?

Or is it...?

Nara Shikaku mad; he truly believes that Konoha and Kumogakure are one family.

Ai had a question in her heart.

Finally, he and Killer B were taken to the back.

"Are these three your subordinates?"

"Yes, she's Kurenai Yuhi. The other two are Kai and Yamato. Kai isn't feeling well right now."

Shikaku explained.

Kurenai Yuhi stood up and immediately bowed to them.

Ai nodded gently.

Killer B stepped forward and said, "Brother, down below, a spy!"

Ai squinted.

As it stands, Konoha really only has one squad!

To do it or not?

He hesitated for only a second.

Dry!

In an instant, a fist was thrown out, aiming directly at Nara Shikaku, but at that moment, a dark shadow appeared beneath Shikaku's feet.

Shadow Possession Technique!

Shikaku- handedly subdued the two of them, then instantly jumped down.

In an instant.

Kyohiko drew his sword and slashed at Ai.

Ai glanced up and saw the figure above swiftly descending, his Chakra surging.

moment--

Lightning Release Chakra Mode!

Boom!

Chakra erupted instantly, his entire body covered in Lightning Release Armor. Although his powerful physique was unable to move, the power he unleashed in that instant was enough to withstand a single strike.

That's certainly true normally!

But this cut...

The Wind Style Chakra was highly concentrated on the blade, forming an invisible energy blade on the outside.

Wind Style is inherently effective against Lightning Style, and Kyohiko 'Chakra was condensed to an extremely high level in this strike. According to his simulation, it should be the theoretical upper limit that Kakashi can currently reach.

With a single slash...

Laugh!

Killer B unleashed a powerful burst of Tailed Beast Chakra. Under the immense power, Shikaku's Shadow Possession Technique shattered, rendering him unable to control both Shikaku and A simultaneously.

Following closely behind--

The tail darted to Ai's side and pulled him directly to its side.

One cut.

The octopus tail that formed behind Killer B was instantly severed by Kyohiko's sword.

Puff!

The octopus's tail was cut off, and Kyohiko immediately threw it onto the boat above, where it charged forward in an instant.

Killer B's eyes narrowed.

Very fast!

Such ability, at such a young age, is extremely rare in Konoha.

"Kakashi Hatake?"

"You jerk, you idiot!"

Killer B hummed in a strange tone, quickly threw Ai a little further away, and then instantly drew two swords, charging towards Kyohiko.

In Tailed Beast Mode, his speed is comparable to A's, almost like teleportation, and his tail sweeps towards Nara Shikaku.

With a single stroke, it fell.

"Kyohiko" turned into a splash of water.

Water Style: Water Clone Technique.

The tail was quickly dodged by Shikaku.

The next second, waves rolled in the sea.

Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

The water jet that shot out was like a long spear, rushing towards Ai.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, the water dragon shattered on Ai's body, the powerful impact slamming him directly into the sea, but the water acted as a buffer...

The next second, he was launched directly out of the sea.

As she landed on the water, Ai's lips curled into a smile.

"Hey, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve now?"

His entire body was enveloped in Lightning Style Chakra, his face grim as he surveyed his surroundings. "Nara Shikaku and Kakashi Hatake, two Jonin participating in this escort mission!"

If it were any ordinary Kumogakure coming to cause trouble, they would probably have already been dealt with by these two from Konoha.

it is a pity.

These people are encountering themselves!

"Is the Kumogakure going to break its alliance with our Konoha?"

Nara Shikaku's face was grim.

Ai said calmly, "An alliance? Our alliance ended when you attacked us in the Land of Fields. What followed was nothing more than tacit cooperation."

"That time you broke the alliance too. As expected, you never know how to repent!"

Nara Shikaku's tone was cold.

Above, Koi Shun was completely limp.

It seems like Jonin, the Shikaku who kept saying "no problem," is now on the losing end?

Is something really going to happen on this trip?

However.

Just then, he heard a strange noise from the side.

What's going on?

Koi Shun's lips trembled as he turned his head to look, only to see that there was suddenly another person on the boat...

A very handsome-looking young man.

"Ah!"

He was startled.

"Don't be afraid, these are ninjas from Konoha."

"Kurenai Yuhi," she whispered.

Koi Shun's face was slightly pale as he looked at Kurenai Yuhi, then at Might Guy, who was struggling to get up inside the ship.

Konoha Ninja?

It looks like...

They seem a bit older than these two, but it's not really useful!

Can you defeat these two?

Meanwhile, the Kumogakure ninjas were already heading off to provide support.

Ai raised his hand, and then he rushed towards Shikaku in an instant. As long as he could deal with Shikaku, the other Kakashi Hatake, although slippery, would not be too difficult to handle.

after all.

No matter how talented you are, you still need to fully develop your talent.

Kakashi Hatake in the future might reach a similar level to them, but right now he's just a teenager.

Ai's speed was so fast that it took Shikaku breath away; in the blink of an eye, he was in front of him.

Such a speed difference...

At this moment, Shikaku finally understood what it felt like for an enemy to encounter Minato Namikaze and Kyohiko Yoshimine.

Unless you possess extremely strong survival skills, encountering these two is an insurmountable and hopeless situation!

but.

He believed that Kyohiko would not give up on him.

The other person is right down there!

moment.

The knife came flying up from below.

Bang!

Ai blocked the knife with a punch.

"At this level, you won't be able to break through my defense as long as I block it even slightly!"

Killer B swiftly attacked from behind.

Just then.

Whoosh!

A figure appeared suddenly near the battlefield at terrifying speed.

Before Ai could react, he was sent flying by a punch.

Bang!

One punch.

Ai flew backward like a shooting star, flying an unknown distance, smashing a large hole in their own ship behind them.

"Lord Ai!"

A series of gasps of surprise rang out from all around.

The Kumogakure ninjas stared blankly, completely unprepared...

Just a moment ago, Ai was so powerful that he was almost unstoppable, but the next second he was sent flying like a rock, and no one had time to react.

Including Killer B.

but.

The Gyuki, inside Killer B's body, was burning with anxiety.

"Run!"

"What's wrong?"

"This guy is incredibly powerful, far more powerful than you imagine! Even though it's just a Wood Clone, I feel... even if you and Ai team up, you wouldn't be a match for him!"

The Gyuki got anxious.

Kyohiko Yoshimine's aura was even more terrifying than Senju Tobirama's.

This guy has really grown up!

"Shall I borrow your power?"

"It's worth a try."

The Path of the Gyuki.

Killer B stopped thinking.

he...

It rapidly Tailed Beast Transformation.

Following closely behind, the Complete Tailed Beast Transformation, Gyuki, rapidly gathered Chakra in its mouth.

Nara Shikaku's pupils contracted.

The Kumogakure has indeed reached the level of Complete Tailed Beast Transformation!

This terrifying speed of Tailed Beast Transformation is something even Kushina couldn't achieve now.

Fortunately, Kyohiko was with him...

Cold sweat poured down his forehead as he finally understood why Kyohiko had personally accompanied him on this trip.

Without Kyohiko, they would have had a very difficult time getting through the waters of the Land of Lightning.

The Tailed Beast Bomb is accumulating.

But at that moment, Ai exclaimed in surprise—

"Don't want!"

What?

Killer B was stunned for a moment, but by then, his Tailed Beast Bomb was already half full.

So...

He spat out half of it.

Water turns into vapor.

Under the terrifying suppression of Chakra, the surrounding sea surface sank, and a powerful Chakra mass rushed rapidly toward Kyohiko's Wood Clone.

but.

Kyohiko's Wood Clone extended a hand.

Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder!

The powerful Chakra vanished in an instant.

Killer B paused for half a second.

Immediately following behind, a terrifying explosion rang out.

Boom!

The Tailed Beast Bomb exploded.

Their ship from Kumogakure was reduced to fragments in the explosion...

Killer B was completely dumbfounded.

"Big brother!"

"By the way, don't get distracted!"

The Gyuki hurriedly reminded him.

Then, the Chakra contracted.

Killer B a torrent, rushing towards the explosion, but in the next instant, that familiar figure blocked its path.

He had only one thought in his mind—

Wow, that's fast!

Faster than the eldest brother!

At this moment, black patterns had already appeared on Kyohiko's Shadow Clone.

Sage Mode, activated!

Then came...

Immortal Technique: Amber Seal!

The Amber quickly froze the surroundings. Killer B's Eight-Tails Chakra surged outwards, but it couldn't immediately break through the Amber stone. Amber also formed underneath, turning this area into a stone platform.

Following closely behind.

Kyohiko formed hand Hand Seals again.

Immortal Techniques - Gate of the Great God!

Boom!

The torii gates struck one after another, instantly sealing away Killer B's Chakra.
